#Catholic communion

[middle-o-nowhere]

Soap: “Ye know, if you’re not picky, catholic communion can be tortilla chips and cider.”

Ghost: “…Johnny, What the hell are you on about?!”

Soap: “Or vodka and a dinner roll.”

Ghost: “I’m divorcing you.”

Soap: “…monster energy and pizza.”

Pope Saint Pius X

1835-1914

Feast day: August 21 (New), September 3 (Trad)

Patronage: First Communicants

Pope Pius X, born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, was the 257th pope of the Catholic Church, serving from 1903 to 1914. He was the first pope since Pope Pius V to be canonized. Pope Pius X is perhaps best remembered for his encouragement of the frequent reception of Holy Communion, especially for children. The second of 10 children in a poor Italian family, Joseph Sarto became Pius X at 68, one of the 20th century's greatest popes.

"Holy Communion is the shortest and fastest way to Heaven." - Pope Saint Pius X

KNEEL before GOD??!

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY: This is the fourth in a series of cartoons where the Boy interviews parishioners to answer the elusive question, "When should you sit/kneel after Communion?" Each cartoon has featured parishioners who have different answers, and each answer has been essentially valid: (1) I sit the whole time; (2) I kneel until the tabernacle is closed, then I sit; (3) I kneel until the altar is cleared and the priest sits, then I sit; or (4) I kneel the whole time. In each cartoon, however, the valid answer has been followed by some comment that makes the interviewee sound silly. This is because I am ostensibly a comedian, and if my comics don't have a punchline, I am bound by oath to grill a part of my body in penance to my patron, St. Lawrence. Though it might spoil the ending of the series, I think it's important to share in each "Joke-ography" that the true answer to the question of when to sit/kneel after Communion is that it's up to the individual, but congregational unity is encouraged when possible.

How I feel when i’m wearing a cute modest outfit

<3

[queerprayers]

i want to say first of all that i fully respect a community's/denomination's/culture's right to have closed practices. i am not entitled to other people's traditions, and when i am a guest in a space i understand that everything is not automatically for me. and i know i do not have to understand to respect.

and also! when i go to a catholic church and can't receive communion i want to fall on the floor weeping. what do you mean i can't have him he's right there. sorry my baptism was the wrong kind of baptism. i'm hungry and you want me to become someone else before being fed.

and to you, my favorite character, i give the highest honor i can bestow………… an incredibly specific religious headcanon

"What doth it avail thee to delay thy confession for a long time, or to put off the Holy communion?

Purge thyself with speed, spit out the venom presently, make haste to take this remedy, and thou shalt find it to be better for thee than if thou hadst deferred it for a long time.

If thou deferrest it today, for this cause, perhaps tomorrow a greater will occur and so thou mayest be hindered a long time from Communion, and become more unfit.

With all possible speed shake off this heaviness and sloth, for it is to no purpose to continue long in uneasiness, to pass a long time in trouble, and for these daily impediments to withdraw thyself from these divine mysteries.

Yea, it is very hurtful to delay the Communion long; for this usually causeth a great lukewarmness and numbness."

-Thomas a Kempis, Imitation of Christ

Listen there’s just something about experiencing the raw desperation of queer yearning to a point where experiencing it (and in turn getting to fulfill and express it) become akin to worship and devotion yknow when Hozier said “I should’ve worshipped her sooner, if the heavens ever did speak she’s the last true mouthpiece” and when Farouq Guwaidah said “but if the devil were to see you, he would kiss your eyes and repent” and when Emily Dickinson said “I would nestle close to your warm heart — is there any room there for me, or shall I wander away all homeless and alone?” and
